    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand

    This is an unbelievably stupid and cruel proposal. It won't decrease opioid abuse, but ti will make it harder for patients with more acute pain that bleeds to beyond a week to have their pain treated. WTF are @SenGillibrand and @SenCoryGardner thinking?https://twitter.com/gillibrandny/status/1106678027042385921 …

    David Gorski, MD, PhD added,

    Sen. Kirsten GillibrandVerified account @gillibrandny
    If we want to end the opioid epidemic, we must work to address the root causes of abuse. That’s why @SenCoryGardner and I introduced legislation to limit opioid prescriptions for acute pain to 7 days. Because no one needs a month’s supply for a wisdom tooth extraction.

        Mark's right. Evidence-based guidelines from medical professional societies are the way to address this, NOT ill-conceived and cruel bills like the one proposed by @SenGillibrand and @SenCoryGardner.https://twitter.com/markhoofnagle/status/1108196321956114433 …

        Politicians micromanaging medical practice is unhelpful, that’s why when we recommend practices we always make them guidelines, not absolutes. This is as foolish as fetal ultrasound laws and heartbeat bills. Keep all politicians out of the exam room. https://twitter.com/gillibrandny/status/1106678027042385921 …

        I’m an opiate and addictions therapist. This isn’t the answer. While a high % may not need them beyond a week, some may. That’s why we leave it to doctors but also have recommendations based on addictions research.

        This is the equivalent of saying diabetes is a growing medical problem, so we’re only going to allow people to buy 4 sodas a month, because no one needs more than that.

        I’m curious if you think there’s any role for legislation limiting the ability of doctors to prescribe opioids in the fight to curb opioid abuse

        This is the law that we currently have in Florida. Lots of fun for us primary care doctors. The surgeons give a patient 3-7 days of meds, and then they are told to call their primary when they’re still in pain after that.

        Who are these surgeons and why are do they still get referrals from your practice? Total B.S. They should be capable of managing post operative pain if they are capable of performing the procedure.

        There's a whole thread by docs and nurses imploring them to not do this. Docs know what their acute and chronic pain patients need. Prescriptions are being limired already. Chronic pain pts feel scared and judged bcuz they need their meds to function. To get out of bed.
